How can I serialize an in-memory SQLite Database?

Question

I have an in-memory SQLite database which I want to serialize and send to another computer. Is this possible without writing the database out to disk and reading the file from there?

Answer 1

Starting with SQLite 3.36 by default (or SQLite 3.23 with the SQLITE_ENABLE_DESERIALIZE compile-time option) sqlite3_serialize() can be used to serialize a database to a contiguous chunk of memory.
